How to 'ripple delete' selection

[Jace5CE9]

Hello,

I'm not new to adobe premiere but I can't figure out how to do something seemingly simple.

I want to delete a selected amount of blank space. I have a break with black space between two scenes of a film and the black space is too long. So I would like to delete the space between my two keyframes (similar to the 'cut time' feature in Ableton if anyone's used it). Ripple delete won't work here because I don't want to delete all the black space, only some of it.

I would rather not select all and drag the whole rest of the project back to get rid of the empty space, because I have a lot of clips to select and also then my keyframes marking the beginning of the scenes will move to the wrong spot I would imagine.

See the attached image for context. I want to delete the area between the two key frames.

Thanks,

Jace

Hi @Jace5CE9,

Thanks for writing in. You were saying that you need to delete some space between two sections, correct? The way I would do it is to mark In and mark Out the area you want to remove, then choose Sequence > Extract. You could also use the Track Select Forward tool to grab the material to the right and move it left manually, however, I prefer the former method I described. It's faster and neater. See if either of these techniques work for you and let us know what happens. I hope this works for you. Sorry for the frustration.

Thanks,
Kevin
